After Day 2 of the refugee testing at Sebring one thing is now blatantly obvious: Scott Goodyear is forbidden from ever using the term "road course specialist" in describing any driver in the IRL. Clearly there's nothing "special" about any of these drivers on road courses, since nearly all of them we brought up racing on these twisty deals for many, many years.

No, now we live in a bizarro world where we have "oval specialists" like Ed Carpenter and Sarah Fisher, for whom USAC gently weeps. Anyhow, here are the combined Sebring final results with refugees in bold.

As often as Goodyear says "road course specialist" he says "it's difficult to pass here." Duh. I'm starting to think "road course" is from the Latin for "difficult to pass." Thanks for mentioning Sarah. Oval specialists need not apply to the IndyCar Series.
